An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate for a thin film photoelectric conversion device, in which its properties are not deteriorated when its surface unevenness is effectively increased, and then provide the thin film photoelectric conversion device having its performance improved by using the substrate. According to the present invention, by setting the surface area ratio of a transparent electrode layer in the substrate for the thin film photoelectric conversion device to at least 55% and at most 95%, the surface unevenness are effectively increased to increase the optical confinement effect, while deterioration in properties due to sharpening of the surface level variation is suppressed, whereby making it possible to provide a substrate for a thin film photoelectric conversion device, which can enhance output properties of the thin film photoelectric conversion device.
A substrate for a thin film photoelectric conversion device, comprising a transparent insulator base and a transparent electrode layer deposited thereon, wherein a surface of the transparent electrode layer has a surface area ratio of at least 55% and at most 95%.
